[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TO has to be TO, at least for this year, based on the admissions this fall/winter. It has seemed like anything submitted under a 1550 is considered worse than TO, both for admission and for merit awards/honors colleges. My daughter has friends that have gotten in TO to Yale, Brown, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Duke, Northwestern, Bowdoin, and Notre Dame and that’s just off the top of my head. So hard to know how to proceed with a current junior. [/quote]

how does your junior know that many seniors' college admissions results as well as their testing status? And then comes home and tells you? Just wondering how this works. [/quote]

Np. At a private school. My junior knows and has a lot of senior friends…[/quote]

I have junior/senior Big3 private kids and they both know a ton of seniors well from sports (one is a senior and one is friends with seniors) and they talk admissions nightly (who is in where) but never do they know testing status.  No one talks about this. 
I hold that it is very weird that your kid knows this about so many kids and she comes home and tells you.  [/quote]
